Values are to become<br />

reality in <strong>aspern</strong><br />

Vienna’s Urban<br />

Lakeside. We define<br />

our values precisely<br />

so that they will be<br />

binding. For<br />

ourselves, our<br />

partners and the<br />

future.<br />

Shared Values<br />

A culture of sharing and communicating<br />

We can share what was formerly divided and in this way<br />

create novel forms of community and togetherness.<br />

Modern society is discovering the value of new communities,<br />

originally a by-product of the Internet: differences<br />

thus not only divide us but can also be something we<br />

enjoy to share.<br />

A city is a shared space of infinite possibilities<br />

Cities are among the most complex achievements of<br />

human civilisation and culture. <strong>The</strong>y cannot be planned<br />

on a top-down basis – a city of the future that is truly<br />

worth living in can only be conceived and built in<br />

co-operation with all its stakeholders. It offers a framework<br />

for shared public space, different forms of use and<br />

contrasting needs, a format for potentials.<br />

Work and leisure – integral elements of life<br />

It is the vision of the Urban Lakeside to harmonise and<br />

balance the myriad facets of life. <strong>The</strong>re is a place for<br />

everything, and all elements are efficiently connected or<br />

detached as required. Project developers hold a stake in<br />

vibrantly alive, functioning public space. This is not a<br />

place of either/or but of both/and.<br />
